Nursing, profession, career, or job???

doing an essay on whether or not I feel nursing is a job, career or a profession

a) If you get paid, it's a job.
b) If you get paid and it uses a large body of knowledge or requires specialized skills, it's a profession.
c) If it looks like a) and b), and uses your unique talent, has to do with something (subject, cause, industry, etc.) that you're passionate about, and makes you feel like you're doing something important (that contributes to a better world), then it is definitely a career!

That depends on the attitude of the one doing it.

The most noble calling can becone merely a job if done for the wrong reasons or with the wrong attitude.

Likewise, the most menial job can be a noble calling if done for the right reasons with the right attitude.

Nursing is not glamorous, but, like any career involving service to others, it can be immensely rewarding.
